Love and Attachment

Love is an unconditional selfless state of being. Love has no desires nor expectations whereas attachment is a mental state born out of desires and relationships created in our minds. Our thoughts are constantly filled with images and memories which generate a lot of expectations. We start depending on these expectations for our happiness and well being. We forget that when these so called desires and expectations are not met, all the negative emotions set in. In other words we give rise to fear and anger and finally stress and anxiety.
So, dear friends do think, of those special people, of others, when it is necessary but do not lose your self in their image. This will free us from dependency, expectations, false desires and suffering.
